Gurnoor Brar’s dream of playing international cricket for India has been fulfilled. He made his debut in the first ODI against Afghanistan and also took a wicket in his very first over. This 6 feet 5 inches tall bowler has impressed a lot in the first match. While talking on Star Sports, he told that he got the support of Shubman Gill, who was also his captain in IPL. Brar also told about his future plans.
Gurnoor Brar said, “My father has also been a national basketball player, now he is in the police and he wanted me to take up sports. I was 16 years old when I played my first district match, that too under the captaincy of Shubman Gill.” He told that after performing well in the domestic, he felt confident that he too can turn the tide of the match on his own. He also told about the time when he came as a net bowler for Gujarat Titans for the first time.
He said, “When I came to GT as a net bowler in the first year, Nehra sir (Ashish Nehra, head coach and Gujarat Titans) saw me and was very impressed. He was impressed by my height and bowling, when I came to this team, I grew after that. Along with Nehra sir, Shubman Gill has also been supporting me.” He told that Gill and Nehra push me a lot and this has been helpful for me.

Dream is to play test cricket
Gurnoor Brar said, “I had only one dream to represent India in Tests, so that dream does not happen like that. Just like everyone thinks that they have to play IPL, ODI, T20, but there is an ultimate goal and that is a Test cricket. There is nothing above that.” He further said, “When I was sleeping, my friend woke me up and told me about my selection, then I came to know that I have also been selected in the ODI team, so that feeling was different.”

Describing Dale Steyn as his favorite bowler, he said that he liked his aggression very much, he liked his way of celebrating every wicket.
He said, “My mindset was the same before and is still the same that I don’t just have to play, but I have to play well and stay there. So the same mindset will remain with me whether I am playing my first match or I am playing my 100th match.”
